A bankroll is cash reserved for play, money that has no other required use. It means setting that amount before play begins, sizing bets so a typical losing streak won’t wipe it out, and locking the figure in rather than treating it as negotiable. Making this decision before play starts matters, since it only deteriorates once play is already underway.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. Since expected return is negative, raising your stake after a loss increases the expected loss instead of shrinking it. It’s arithmetically true that a bigger bet could win the money back, yet arithmetically false that expectation favors it.
Winning isn’t what bankroll management is for, and it leaves the house edge untouched. How a session ends and how long a budget lasts are what change, not what the game returns.

A worked example
Going 80 spins without a return on a high-volatility game is normal, not a sign of bad luck. On that class of game, a bankroll built to survive only 20 spins runs out mid-session every single time. This isn’t extra caution — setting the stake so a session budget stretches across 300 or more spins is simply the baseline needed for the game to perform as it was designed to.
Using it in practice
Decide both the amount and when to stop before that first spin, not while playing. Once the amount is no longer discretionary, support should be sought instead of tweaking the staking plan. It sticks better in memory when paired with how volatility works and house edge, since pages tend to raise them together.
Terms such as Bankroll management appear throughout the game pages here, and where a studio hasn’t published the figure behind one, the pages say so rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. A few spec tables here carry blanks for that exact reason.
